One of our family’s favorite ways to celebrate every season is with a bucket list. Our {printable} 2021 fall bucket list is here, and your family is going to love it!
How do you intentionally work to celebrate each season in your home?
Before we discovered the magic of the bucket list, our family would always say we wanted to celebrate by having all sorts of seasonal fun, but the weeks would come and go and we’d never actually do anything.
A few years ago, we discovered that if we made a bucket list for each season with a list of every seasonal activity we wanted to do together, it suddenly became a priority.
When we plan our weekends, we check the bucket list to see what we haven’t done yet.
When the kids have a day off school, the bucket list is the first thing we check to see what we can do.
Just like that, we went from forgetting to do all of the simple seasonal activities we love to knocking them all out, and making some great memories in the process!
